The Acons Gallery at Monkton Arts kicks off the New Year with “Images of Byzantium”, an exhibition featuring sixteen icons painted by Isle of Wight artist, Stuart Robinson.
Taking place between 7th to 18th January 2020 (Monday-Saturday), the centre-piece of the exhibition is a 75cm x 60cm fully-gilded 18th century Moscow prototype of the crucifixion.
Stuart also explains that thirteen of the icons were painted to illustrate the booklet “Icons of the Great Feasts”.
